Sara.
Gn. 17:17‑19• 17Entonces Abraham cayó sobre su rostro, y rióse, y dijo en su corazón: ¿A hombre de cien años ha de nacer hijo? ¿y Sara, ya de noventa años, ha de parir?
18Y dijo Abraham á Dios: Ojalá Ismael viva delante de ti.
19Y respondió Dios: Ciertamente Sara tu mujer te parirá un hijo, y llamarás su nombre Isaac; y confirmaré mi pacto con él por alianza perpetua para su simiente después de él.
(Gn. 17:17‑19)
;
Gn. 18:11‑14• 11Y Abraham y Sara eran viejos, entrados en días: á Sara había cesado ya la costumbre de las mujeres.
12Rióse, pues, Sara entre sí, diciendo: ¿Después que he envejecido tendré deleite, siendo también mi señor ya viejo?
13Entonces Jehová dijo á Abraham: ¿Por qué se ha reído Sara diciendo: Será cierto que he de parir siendo ya vieja?
14¿Hay para Dios alguna cosa difícil? Al tiempo señalado volveré á ti, según el tiempo de la vida, y Sara tendrá un hijo.
(Gn. 18:11‑14)
;
Gn. 21:1‑2• 1Y visitó Jehová á Sara, como había dicho, é hizo Jehová con Sara como había hablado.
2Y concibió y parió Sara á Abraham un hijo en su vejez, en el tiempo que Dios le había dicho.
(Gn. 21:1‑2)
;
Lc. 1:36• 36Y he aquí, Elisabet tu parienta, también ella ha concebido hijo en su vejez; y este es el sexto mes á ella que es llamada la estéril: (Lc. 1:36)
;
1 P. 3:5‑6• 5Porque así también se ataviaban en el tiempo antiguo aquellas santas mujeres que esperaban en Dios, siendo sujetas á sus maridos:
6Como Sara obedecía á Abraham, llamándole señor; de la cual vosotras sois hechas hijas, haciendo bien, y no sois espantadas de ningún pavor.
(1 P. 3:5‑6)
because.
 Sarah, however, persisted longer in her unbelief; and when Jehovah at a subsequent day set a time for Sarah to have a son, she laughed incredulously and stood gravely reproved—the more because she denied it. But all this makes the grace of God so marked and cheering, as we find an entire oblivion of these early failures, and the later triumph alone here recorded. How undeniable the proof that He loves to speak well of His own! (Hebrews 11:11-12 by W. Kelly)
 In Sarah we further learn that faith not only looks to God in the face of pressing difficulties, but trusts in God in spite of natural impossibilities. (Faith Laying Hold of the World to Come: Hebrews 11:8-22 by H. Smith)

J. N. Darby Translation

11
By faith also Sarah herself received strength for the conception of seed, and that beyond a seasonable age; since she counted him faithful who promised.

W. Kelly Translation

+
11
By faith alsoa Sarah herself received power for deposition of seed even beyond season of age, since she counted faithful him that promised.

WK Translation Notes

a
The addition of "even" seems out of place; is it not "Sarah herself also"? "Even" is used properly where one means to express anything strange, as in vs.19.
